Highly Automated Vehicles and Self-Driving Cars [Industry Tutorial]

Abstract

Self-driving cars have, in recent years, clearly become among the most actively discussed and researched topics. By all definitions, these systems, as a third robotic revolution, belong to the robotics field, despite the fact that people generally assign them to a specific domain of the automotive industry [1]. Replicating the complex task of human driving by an autonomous system poses countless engineering challenges, involving the wider field of robotics, including environment perception, decision making, and control.
